Measuring for water pressure spikes

[Dylan]

What's the most accurate way to measure for water pressure spikes? Pressure sits at 55 to 60 but will go up and down if pressure gauge is left connected. Is indicator arm pressure gauge like J66302 best tool?

I have a camera recording the gauge 24/7. The recorder also timestamps every contact close/open so I can trend pump cycles.

Yes that's the best tool.

A tattler needle will only record the highest pressure which could be a transient spike caused by water hammer.
